Hi i am trying to get some more hp out of my car and im not made of money nor have i ever built a car engine mainly been into sleds and atvs. Can some one give me some kinda direction to start in ?
 


Do you live near gas stations that carry E85? IF so, switch to E85 (you'll need bigger injectors, a tune, and a few other maintenance things) and drop pulleys.

Otherwise, Headers $250, tune $200, Pulley drop, $150.

Thats if you can do the work.

I love it when people ask the same question that has already been asked 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times.
 
i mean that did help me out alot but im at the point where its one item at a time. What would be the best one to get first. i have a intake already and also have had the supercharger ported so now just wondering what to get next. header or pulley or a tune not sure
 
What's the budget.


You say cheap, so I figure under $150. If you don't really plan to do alot of mods, just do a 3in downpipe.

But headers normally require a tune to go along with to gain the most from it. But you can still buy them and install them with the cat converter and be just fine.
 
just take the word cheap out of this......its gonna add up a bit.

headers are first 200 bucks, 3.4 pulley hub, pulley puller rental over a 100. tune, canned tunes are any where from 100 to what ever tyou can get raped for. or buy a dhp tuner and learn to tune it yourself for 250.

your over 500 easy already.



the mods in my sig are worth more then i paid for the damn car lol

You have to do those maintenance items first before you start modding. And if you really want to start modding, you need headers. No if, ands, or buts about it. Otherwise you'll knock the hell out of your motor and start chipping pistons.
